Rendering Problem w/o Q2Max, AA Compilation

[Matthew Arnold]

So I could play the game without the "sparks of death," I decided to 
compile the source with BUILD_QMAX=NO in the Makefile. When I did that, 
some of the explosion effects are gone. I get the particles, but I don't 
get the mini-nuclear-blast-mushroom-cloud effect (for example, when I 
shoot one of the barrels right at the beginning of the game). This was 
with the current CVS and the 0.13.1 tarball.

To make sure it was a problem with the newer source, I tried the 0.9 
source. When I compiled and ran that, everything worked fine. This is 
with the GLX renderer.

Also, the ASCII renderer won't compile for me. Here's the error I get:
gcc -Wall -pipe -Dstricmp=strcasecmp -O2 -ffast-math -funroll-loops 
-malign-loops=2 -malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -g

Looks like there's a header file missing. I can't find aalib.h anywhere. 
Is that in some development package I don't have installed or should it 
be included in the quake2 source tarball?

Pertinent system stats: fully patched Red Hat 7.3, GeForce3 Ti200 with 
the 1.0-2960 drivers.

Thoughts?
